Class structure & topics

Power Flame’s classes are either two-day or three-day classes held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. covering critical knowledge areas for participants, including burner fundamentals, system controls, safety operations, maintenance & troubleshooting, and other boiler room and process heating equipment.

Whether you’re new to Power Flame systems burners and controls or looking to deepen your understanding of specific combustion equipment, we have a course that fits your needs. We offer three different types of courses:

100 Level Classes: These introductory courses create the perfect foundation to our full training program lineup, covering the fundamentals of combustion, burner control, and troubleshooting.

200 Level Classes: These courses offer a deeper dive into specific burners and management systems, including the CMAX Burner, Director SCS, and Parallel Positioning. Attending the Fundamentals of Combustion Class is recommended before enrolling.

300 Level Classes: These advanced courses are ideal for technicians, engineers, and managers who already have a solid foundation in combustion systems and want to take their skills to the next level. Taking the Fundamentals of Combustion Class is recommended prior to enrollment.

Gain Hands-On Experience with Power Flame Burners & Controls

Our goal is to help you walk away from our courses with hands-on knowledge that directly translates to better job performance and efficiency. By offering demonstrations in all of our courses and hands-on setup of key components in a typical boiler room, our students gain a comprehensive understanding of crucial topics, including:
  • Burner Safety Devices
  • Parallel Positioning
  • Safe Startup Practices
  • Burner System Components for Commercial/Industrial and Process Burners
  • Fuel Supply and Pressures for Oil, Gas, and Natural Gas
  • Linkage Operation

We believe that first-hand experience is invaluable, whether you’re working with burners for the first time or looking to expand your skill set.

Improving Burner and Boiler Efficiency Through Proven Best Practices

Keeping a burner running at peak performance takes more than a single adjustment. It takes working knowledge of the full boiler room and every system that supports safe, efficient operation. Our instructors draw on real field experience to teach the practical skills technicians use every day, including:
  • Combustion Control Systems
  • Burner Maintenance
  • Burner Startup and Commissioning
  • Working with supporting boiler room equipment to keep fuel use in check and performance high
  • Troubleshooting and diagnostics to trace faults and keep burners firing reliably
Whether you are new to the field or refining years of experience, you will leave with methods you can put to work the day you return to the job.

Recommended Skills for a Well-Trained Service Technician

A strong service technician builds skills across several areas. The focus areas below take a technician from foundational combustion knowledge through advanced controls and boiler training:
  • Combustion fundamentals and safe burner startup
  • Burner maintenance and troubleshooting
  • Boiler training and boiler room system operation
  • Controls, flame safeguard, and burner management systems
  • Burner commissioning and performance tuning
Our 100, 200, and 300 level classes are designed to develop skills in everything from the fundamentals of combustion to advanced burner systems. Power Flame values training technicians to work on other burners, not just Power Flame burners. Technicians leave with a well-rounded education and skills to enter into the field.
